A 35-year-old woman from Maharashtra who was allegedly abandoned by her relatives in a train to Gujarat was rescued by the 181 Abhayam helpline in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

The woman, Sunita Sabkale from Jalgaon in Maharashtra, was seeking shelter at different bus stops in the city for the past four days before some good Samaritans who saw her in this condition, informed the Abhayam authorities who rescued her from the streets.

Officials at Abhayam told Mirror that upon investigating her case, Sabkale told counsellors that her relatives had told her that she was being taken for treatment to another city and put her on a train to Gujarat. They then abandoned her in the train.

She reached Ahmedabad on March 27 and since she had no money and didn't know anyone in the city or state, sought shelter at various bus stops.

She was sent to Paldi Nari Vikas Gruh in the city till her relatives are traced.
